The following article discusses how social media is affecting publishers, editorial content and advertising strategies.
A statement in the article suggests that media should enable comments when utilizing social media so viewers can have an interactive experience. People who read newspapers are "fed" current events and do not have the opportunity to react or post their reflections, except if they send an letter to the editor. Social media has changed this and enabled engagement between consumers of the media and mass media. Should, then, interaction be a requirement of e-media?

bush 9/11 speech
The power of rhetoric is recognized in notable speeches whose message and influence are longstanding. Former President George W. Bush addressed the nation on September 11, 2001. His words helped to reaffirm confidence in his leadership at a time of great distress and extend hope to a shaken populace.
Michael Ferson is the speech writer responsible for this address (Smith Davies, 2005, p.221).
A powerful quote from this speech: "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."
